Battery charge versus remaining usable charge

I have new batteries in my 2007 NL 10-2QRR and charged them to 12.4v last week. We went on our first trip last weekend and over 4 days/3 nights we dropped to 12.3v. We were very conservative on consumables since we are new to TC's and only used the furnace, water pump, some water heater, and lights (mostly LED). I know some equipment only works down to a minimum voltage (11.5-12v I think), so I'm not sure if that means we could go 4x longer or if we would be more/less.
Any thoughts?
This is a really good question, I don't have the knowledge to even attempt to answer it but I think this explanation might help.
The question is much more involved than just measuring voltages.
What shape are my batteries in?
